Beach Bag : I love having a great beach bag that is lots of fun!  After all, I am headed to the beach!  I just purchased this one (shown in the picture above).  I also love this colorful one and this more classic style and this one is too fun!

Swimsuit : I have been really into one piece swimsuits this year.  I love how they give me the coverage I am looking for but are still sexy.  I’ve found that I prefer wearing a one piece because I can move around with my kids easier.  This one is very flattering if you have a curvier bottom or shorter legs.  It’s cut up higher on the side, making the legs look longer and curvy in a good way!  Also love (and have) this one.  For bikini’s I rarely ever buy a matching set.  I like to buy bottoms that work for me and fun colorful tops.  Bikini bottoms that work best for my curvy butt are from La Blanca.  They are very comfortable and have great coverage for the booty.  I also love high waisted bottoms, very flattering on curvier bottoms!  For tops I love something fun like this colorful one,  love the pink on this one, love the wrap detail on this one.

Cover-Up : Cover ups are my life!  I typically have my cover up on most of the day, to keep my skin protected and to cover up my butt.  What’s up with swimsuits now that don’t cover the butt all the way?  I love lightweight flowy ones like this one.  This one is super fun, I’ve had this one for 2 years and it’s still a favorite, it now comes in this style.

Sunglasses : I have to wear sunglasses any time I am outside.  At the beach I like to wear either an aviator style or an oversized pair.  Either way, I like them to be polarized if I can for extra protection from the sun.

Hat : I wear a hat for 2 reasons.  To block my face from the sun and to cover up my sweaty messy hair.  I just ordered this one, it’s under $40 and it comes in 2 colors.  This one is super cute and this one is fun.

Sandals : Something flat and comfy is all I’m looking for, ok and it also has to be cute too :) I love this pair with the bling and this metallic one.

Sunscreen : Obviously we have to think about our skin!  Nothing ruins a day at the beach more than burnt skin for the next couple days.  Not to mention the damage it does to the skin.  I love this one for my face.  It’s completely weightless and dries matte.  I have put makeup over it before and I don’t even notice it’s there.  And I love this one for my body.  I prefer a spray sunscreen at the beach.  It makes it so much easier to reapply when your whole body is covered in sand.

Water Bottle : Drinking water at the beach is essential.  The sun and heat is very dehydrating.  This one is great because it keeps your drink cold for 24 hours.

Towel : When I go to the beach I keep it simple.  I bring everything I need in 1 bag, I lay my towel in the sand and enjoy the day.  I love this pineapple towel, this colorful one and this beach blanket.
